VIENNA Festival Ballet will be celebrating its 35th year with an Anniversary Gala coming to Evesham Arts Centre on Monday, April 6.

The arts centre will feature a live performance by the company which includes highlights from the world’s most beloved Tchaikovsky ballets which have featured in their repertoire over the past 35 years.

Highlights will include the moment when the Swan Queen meets her prince in Act 2 Swan Lake, the Dance of the Cygnets, Clara’s journey to a glittering land of snow in The Nutcracker, and the famous Rose Adagio from Sleeping Beauty, where Princess Aurora is introduced to four princes.

Vienna Festival Ballet’s reflection on 35 years of performing classical ballets all over the world will take the audience on an unforgettable journey through the best of ballet in one magical evening.

The performance closes with the beautiful Corn pas de deux from Coppélia and a spectacular grand finale.

The Vienna Festival Ballet tours extensively throughout the United Kingdom, bringing well known classics to both big cities and small towns.

Artistic director Peter Mallek said: "A lot of the bigger companies cannot perform in smaller venues.

"We have tailored our productions so that we are able to adjust the ballet to fit all different sizes of stage.

"This means we can bring ballet as close to home for our audiences as possible, so they don’t have extra travel costs and long journeys.

"They can see a very high standard of ballet at an affordable price, right on their doorstep."
